Goodbye Johnny
The day that television died was May 22, 1992. The day it was buried was today.
Goodbye Johnny.
Quarter to three. There's no one in the place
except you and me.
So set 'em up, Joe. Got a little story
I think you should know.
We're drinkin', my friend, to the end
of a sweet episode.
Make it one for my baby
and one more for the road.
Got the routine. So drop another nickel
in the machine.
Oh, gee, I'm feelin' so bad. Wish you'd make the music
so dreamy and sad.
You could tell me a lot. But it's not
in a gentleman's code.
Let's make it one for my baby
and one more for the road.
You may not know it,
but buddy you're a kind of poet.
And you've had a lot of things to say.
And when I'm gloomy
you always listen to me,
until it's talked away.
Well, that's how it goes.
And John I know you're getting
anxious to close.
So, thanks for the cheer.
I hope you didn't mind me
bending your ear.
For all of the years,
for the laughs, for the tears,
for the class that you showed,
make it one for my baby
and one more for the road.
That long long road.

Speechless.
Johnny is one of the funniest guys ever. He's been so out of the lime light since he quit, I was wonderin how he was doing.

Ohhh man I didn't even know
I didn't either. Sometimes our news channel SUX!
Johnny Carson, the only reason my mom would let me stay up to watch late night tv, and not have to worry about what I was watching.

:wave:See ya around. Guess someone in heaven needs you more, right now.
